Bug #34977	Export dialog should retain last used state

Description:
If I use File -> Export -> Forward Engineer SQL create script, the dialog starts with a bunch of options. I tend to use this feature repeatedly and I would prefer to have the same options set as I used the previous time.

On the second step, it might be nice to remember the options there as well. I haven't considered the implications, though, particularly if the schema has had items added or deleted.

How to repeat:
Use File -> Export -> Forward Engineer SQL create script
Set some options and continue to save the schema
Use File -> Export -> Forward Engineer SQL create script again
Note that all options are back to their default state.

Suggested fix:
Retain as much state information as possible to make the user's life easier.

Thank you for a reasonable feature request.

Instead of saving/restoring previous options, there could be a new command for
executing forward engineering with the last used options.

Bug #42391 is a duplicate of this bug here.

Fixed as of 5.2.40, and here's the changelog entry:

The "File", "Export", "Forward Engineer SQL ..." wizards now have the 
option to use the same configuration settings from the last time 
"Forward Engineer SQL ..." was used.
